I'm 66 and retired. I try to walk 4 miles a day most days. Im doing physical therapy for my shoulder. I Hope to get back into lifting light weights (10 lbs) to get stronger. Round Goal: I’d love to get to 135, Then I'd only have 10 lbs to go. 10 lbs sounds like so much less that 12 lbs. UGW: 125 SW: 136.8…

Congratulations

Round Goal Weight: There is a week left in this round so I’d like to lose 1 pound in 7 days. Day/Weight/Comment 6/26 6/27 6/28 – 138.6 Yesterday was a good day. I got in a 4 mile walk and ate healthy on program foods. It helps that I was busy which keeps me from snacking more than planned. 6/29 – 137.8 Yesterday was a good…

4th of July is coming up. I plan to think about it before I eat it. I will only eat a reasonable portion of high calorie foodsand skip desert (perhaps a bite of hubbies). I try to avoid added sugar and do well until someone hands me a plate before I can say no.

I enjoy reading everyone else's comments. I enjoy reading everyone else's comments. Here is me. Round Goal Weight: There is a week left in this round so I’d like to lose 1 pound in 7 days.

my friend takes what she wants but makes sure there is white space on the plate between everything.

I see why you have to keep a document on your device to repost. I didn't in the last round and could never find it again. I enjoy reading everyone else's comments. I think this challenge will help me to think about why I'm on plan or off plan. Round Goal Weight: There is a week left in this round so I’d like to lose 1…

I have a challenge with potlucks also. I have a lot of events so writing it off as a special day isn't the best for me. I do try and bring something I really like that is lower calorie so there is something I want. I often bring veggies and hummus, a wild rice salad, watermelon or something along those lines. Yes, drink…

Great, I'll join you on 6/26.

abigailgorton1 - Congrats for getting into the 140's!

congrats on reaching your goal Joans1976

I'd like to come join you. I'll be floating in the pool. Please have the pool boy bring me a wine slushy. Later I'll have pizza and more wine.

I was doing pretty good. I lost 15 lbs or half of my weight. I need to buckle up and get back with the plan. I'm thinking if I tell all of you that I'm getting with the plan and have a talk with myself it will help. I was feeling frustrated with something yesterday (not food related) so I ate a lot of low flat flavored…

I'd like to join you. I'm female, 5'3" Day/Weight/Comment 6/16 - 140 6/17 - 138.6 Thrilled I'm in the 130's. Generally when I see a big drop in weight, I bounce back up the next day. (1.4 pounds in one day is huge for me.) This might be the only weight loss for me in this round. Sticking with the program. 6/18 - 138.6 I'm…

I'm happy, I'm down 2 lbs from my weight before I sent on the all inclusive scuba diving trip. (returned last Saturday). I'm also half way to my goal weight. Sadly, it is really windy today so I'm delaying my walk until tomorrow. I walk about 4 miles 5 times a week.

I just returned from an all inclusive trip. Yes, wine, food, desert, and more food. My goal was to not gain weight on the trip. I ate and drank more than planned but not as much as I could have. two days home and I'm only up 2 lbs. Back on plan to lose those 2 lbs and more. Plan to lose 17 more lbs. I'm counting this as a…

This is on finding a diet you can follow. I started looking at the 1200 calorie a day diets to see what they do. Too much variety and too much cooking for me. I tend to have the same breakfast every day, makes it easy. Lunch is either a sandwich or left overs with carrot sticks. I go through the dinner recipes. This works…

I'm feeling happy today. I'm down 14 lbs. I have 15 more to go to get to goal. We are going on vacation Friday. I hope I can just not gain wait on vacation.

Welcome to all of you

Congrats

In addition to the above tips, drink water. I drink a lot of carbonated water. If I think I want a snack, I drink a large glass of carbonated water. It takes a long time to drink it and the bubbles take up space in my stomach. It works for me.

Way to go!

I'm down about 12 lbs and have 18 more to go. Yesterday I ate something salty and my weight shot up by .8 lbs. I don't generally eat salty things but I know this happens when I do. I know weight loss is slow and not linear. I'll keep chugging along and get there when I do. Happy Anniversary Neena

Back on plan after a slip up. We went to a wonderful gala. I had planned to have 1 glass of wine and no desert. They gave us 2 drink tickets and they had desert trays. The little chocolate balls with raspberry in them were wonderful, not not what I had planned. That was Sunday. Monday back on plan. I need to work on…

Hi, I'd like to join you. I just turned 66. covid weight has been my downfall. I lost 10 lbs right before covid, then gained those 10 and then added another 20. Yikes. I'm down 11.4 pounds so I'm on my way. I refuse to add the 10 and the 20 together. I'm tracking like crazy and cut back wine to a glass a week. I've always…

Try tracking what you eat. Make sure to weigh and measure everything.

Let me explain a litttle more what eat like thin women meens to me, When I was working, we often had lunch brought in or conferences with food brought in. Sometimes it was a buffet and sometimes they served you a plate. The food was OK but nothing special. I started to notice that the thin ladies ate less than everyone…

I like the idea above about spray oil. I'll have to try that. I don't log garlic, coffee or other herbs/spices. If I have a slice of onion, I don't log it. If I have half an onion in something, I log it. Often I'm just logging mixed vegetables, I don't eat half an onion by itself. I don't eat my exercise calories and leave…
